Answer: 1.35 g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Bulk density can be found with the following formula:

Bulk density = (Dry weight)/(Volume)

Let's calculate the dry weight:

Dry weight can be found with the following formula:

Dry weight = Total weight - Moisture weight

Since the sample has 10% moisture, the moisture weight is

10% of 600g, which is 60g. Therefore:

Dry weight = 600g - 60g = 540g

We are given that the volume is 400 cm³.

Plugging the values into the formula:

Bulk density = 540g/400cm³

Bulk density = 1.35 g/cm³
